Suspected gas leakage in social housing

The authorities received a report yesterday, which suggested that a gas leakage took place in the Edificio Cheng Choi social housing project at Ilha Verde. After the Fire Service (CB) arrived at the scene, they discovered that gas was leaking from the main LPG supply valve. Firefighters immediately shut off the valve and notified the supplier. Nobody was injured in the incident. The authorities did not, however, evacuate residents. CB has handed the incident over to the gas supplier and the property management company. The Housing Bureau has already asked the gas supply company to launch an overall inspection and repair.
